Abstract

A reaction indicator in the form of a graphical user interface is disclosed. The reaction indicator combines sentiment and intensity data relating to an asset for use in real-time evaluation of publicly traded assets, in particular equities and commodities. The reaction indicator includes graphic objects displayed upon a monitor that depict social media market sentiment, a timeline slider object, and a vertical bar chart object. The sentiment is derived based upon pairs of lexical items in local syntactic context found in a volume of social media messages.

Claims

1. A reaction indicator in the form of a graphical user interface, the reaction indicator combining sentiment and intensity data relating to a publicly traded asset for use in real-time evaluation of the publicly traded asset, comprising:

graphic objects displayed upon a monitor that depict social media market sentiment derived based upon pairs of lexical items in local syntactic context found in a volume of social media messages; and

a timeline slider object.

2. The reaction indicator according to claim 1, wherein the graphic object is a sphere.

3. The reaction indicator according to claim 1, wherein the graphic object depicts sentiments and intensity.

4. The reaction indicator according to claim 3, wherein the graphic object changes color based upon sentiment.

5. The reaction indicator according to claim 3, wherein the graphic object changes size based upon intensity.

6. The reaction indicator according to claim 1, further including a central graphic object visualizing a weighted average of all graphic objects based on weights assigned to the graphic objects.

7. The reaction indicator according to claim 1, wherein sentiment is based upon polarity and strength.

8. The reaction indicator according to claim 1, wherein intensity is based upon a frequency of messages about the asset.

9. The reaction indicator according to claim 1, further including a vertical bar chart object.

10. The reaction indicator according to claim 1, wherein the asset is selected from the group of equities and commodities.

11. A reaction indicator in the form of a graphical user interface, the reaction indicator combining sentiment and intensity data relating to a publicly traded asset for use in real-time evaluation of the publicly traded asset, comprising:

graphic objects displayed upon a monitor that depict sentiment and intensity based upon processing of social media messages.

12. The reaction indicator according to claim 11, further including a timeline slider object.

13. The reaction indicator according to claim 11, further including a vertical bar chart object.

14. The reaction indicator according to claim 11, wherein the graphic object is a sphere.
